win32/Apache - not following Cygwin symlinks

I couldn't get Win32/Apache 2.2.10 to follow symlinks which were made in Cygwin, (with either CYGWIN=nowinsymlinks or not), and Options FollowSymLinks on Windows Vista. To get around it, I used the Junction tool from Microsoft, (Sysinternals). Just remember to reverse the order of the arguments, as compared to ln.
